This Is God's Day

I was inspired to write this song by a poem by Peter J. Henniker-Heaton appearing in the Anthology of Classic Articles II which contains reprints taken from Christian Science publications.

You can find entire poem and the music to the song at my website at http://manoftruth.net as well as the sheet music and mp3 files for over 250 songs which I have written inspired by the Christian Science Bible Lessons and literature.

Here are the lyrics:

This is God's day; I do not wish it to be any other day.
This is God's place; I do not want it to be any other place.
I am about my Father's business now and always;
I do not long for any other employ.

This is God's presence; His company is sufficient to satisfy.
Here is God's holiness; no further wholeness can man require.
Under His laws we live;
No wiser government can man desire.

Man is complete and perfect in God's own likeness;
Man does not yearn for a different nature or name.
Such are the facts that spiritually acknowledged
Compel all human evidence to conform.
Such are the facts that morning by morning welcomed,
Uphold, direct, inspire.
